Went thru the first 50 to 60 pages last night. Depositions of TSA agents on ground on 9/11/01 in 2007 for an insurance mitigation. Anyone bother reading on? Was like "did you use a wand on everyone"? "No was random". "Did you search this hijackers bag"? "I don't know, probably not might have come up in the last 6 years". Waste of time IMHO.
First batches are only super boring "office coffee machine discussion"-tier stuff that is just there to prove you actually got the data. If you release what that the ransomed didn't want in the open, then they have no reason to pay you anymore.
Next batches will probably start having "not jail-worthy but still embarrassing" stuff to make the ransomed sweat a bit. It's generally there that they pay, because at that point the public (like Voat is doing right now) just wrote the event as a "non-happening" because it has gone for long without anything really juicy. So the pirates can be paid without causing a ruckus about "omg they did pay, they did have stuff to hide !!!§§§§".
The TSA wasnt created until November 2001, as a reaction to the hijacking attacks on 9/11/01. How were TSA agents on the ground on 9/11/01 when the agency didnt exist?
I am old enough to remember what it was like to take a flight before 9/11 and I used to really enjoy flying before 9/11. Now it's just a fucking nightmare from start to finish.
You know how I get interested in something? If the first hour of the book / movie sucked. Like this did. Not even a tease. A bunch of speaking about pay rates as well. "When did you get to 7.75 an hour 2004 or 2005?" LeSnooze.
This is exactly what I was thinking. These documents could be part of a cache, and those who actually know the full cache, would know that these people have it based on what they've released already. It's proof that they have what they say they have.

True, but that's how data ransom work.

Exactly. Prior to that the airline terminal had the deal. I flew to Europe a lot pre-9/11. For safety you flew Lufthansa.
The Germans were superb on security screening and a far cry from the security theater that passes for it across the USA now.

Well, the first documents were supposed to be the least interesting ones by design.

this isn't for your personal entertainment, you conceited fuckwad. This is real life.

The drop is not for you stupid.
The drop is for those being ransomed.
The first drop is Boring becuase the sole purpose of the first drop is to prove you have what you say you have.

I agree - they released nothing that I found interesting.
They have my permission to try again, but this time leak some info that is valuable... if they truly have any.

That costs like 50k though the next time. And only be chapter 2 of 6 or 7

Eh, it would be cheaper and more hilarious to have a Seal Team kick in their door and bash in their faces and take their stuff.

Trump already has the Intel. Whether to release it or not is up to him.
15921190? ago
He won't. I'd bet the info is part of the 80% we'll never learn about.

He has too, DEWs were directly involved, no one gets a pass.
